UNSPSC 48101909: Food service coffee or tea pots

UNSPSC 48101909 Food service coffee or tea pots is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure beverage service equipment and related supplies for food service operations across facilities. In practice, the recent solicitations tagged to this code show a much broader purchasing pattern: school districts, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are buying catering and beverage management services, kitchen supplies, janitorial and operational supplies, and law enforcement equipment — a mix that suggests either significant miscoding at source or use of this code as a catch-all for miscellaneous supply categories that may not involve coffee or tea pots at all. The issuing bodies include school districts (Clayton County Public Schools), county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and broader participating entities).

Recent opportunities span multiple states and sectors with no clear geographic concentration. Hillsborough County, Florida posted an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies for the Fire Rescue Department on July 7, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for a one-year period; the same county issued an RFQ for miscellaneous kitchen supplies in August 2026 (due July 8, 2026). Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia released RFP00527 for concessions, catering, and premium beverage management services on October 9, 2026 (due November 10, 2026). Sourcewell, acting as a Minnesota local government unit cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington and numerous other jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. The code shows limited coherence with its nominal scope; vendors pursuing this code should verify actual commodity alignment in solicitation documents before committing bid resources.
